Question

How do I give oatmeal to my 6month old?

A lot of people recommend giving oats rather than rice as a first food, but how do you prepare it? Do I just cook it (the texture seems a bit rough for a 'never-eaten-before-tummy?) or should I put it through a blender or just give the 'juice' of the oatmeal when it's cooked?
